NECKTIE-PRESSER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 15, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Bruce 0. Brown, a citizen of the United States, residing at Colorado, in the county of Mitchell and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Pressers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same. I

This invention relates to necktie pressers, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a device of simple construction which Will hold a number of scarfs or neckties flat and will press them so that they will always be in proper condition for wear..

When neck scarfs or neckties are worn a short'time they become very much wrinkled, and it properly pressed out they make a neat appearance. It is troublesome and some times expensive to have a number of neckties or scarfs ironed out.

The principal object of this invention is to hold the scartis after they have been taken .oii' the wearer in a press wlnch Wlll keep them smooth and in proper condition for wear.

The foregoing and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which the figure of the drawing is a perspective view showing a necktie presser made in accordance with this invention.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a cross head or hanger, provided with a suspending hook 52 at the center thereof. Projecting from the opposite sides of the cross heads 1 near the'bottom thereof are pintles 3, and pivoted upon said pintles are metal hanger plates fl: and 5, said plates having curved upper ends 6. Secured to the lower ends of the hangers l isa board. 7 having a mirror 8 on the outer face thereof.

Connected to the hangers is a plain board 9. A central presser board 10 is connected by suitable hangers 11 to the pintles 3, said hangers carrying springs 12. The springs 12 have a tendency to force the members 7 and 9 outward when released at the lower end. A rod of wood ,or metal 13, extends Patented Dec. 14, 1915.

tween the members 7 and 9 against the presser board. 10. After the ties have been placedin position the members 7 and 9are closed up against the ties upon opposite sides of the presser board 10 and said members are locked in place by means of bolts 15 pivotally connected to staples 16 at the opposite sides of the board 9, said bolts adapted to engage slots 17 formed in a cross bar 18 on the front member 7. A knob or handle 19 projects from the lower end of the member 7. From the foregoing it will be obvious that a necktie prcsser, made in accordance With this invention is comparatively simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and will operate efficiently to press a number of scaris or ties at the same time and permit any one of them to be removed for wear.

By turning the thumb nut a, after the bolts 15 have been swung into the slots 17," any suitable pressure may be applied to the members 7 and 9 against the pressure board 10 and the scarfs or ties.

Various changes may be made in the details of construction Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined inthe claims,

What is claimed is 1. A necktie presser comprising a cross head, pintles extending from the sides of the cross head, hangers pivoted on the pintles,

presser boards connected to the hangers,

rear member pivotally connected to the cross head, and comprising boards, one of said In testimony whereof I aflix my signature boards having a mirror thereon, a rod for in presence of two wltnesses.
